The head of the Argentine Rural Society (SRA), Hugo Biolcatti, came on stage to backwards his harsh words against those who voted President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner during the August 14 Primary election.
“I’d like to put it clear that my comments were taken out of context. I step up for what I say, but I can’t be responsible for what people says I said
Biolcatti had accused Fernández de Kirchner voters of “only caring about watching Marcelo Tinelli’s TV Show (the local version of Dancing with the Stars)”, and “paying for their plasma screen TV sets.”
“They just published two lines of what I had said. I was actually referring to the state of economic boom the nation seems to go through, which obviously explains the massive support showed to the administration of Fernández de Kirchner.”
Biolcatti continued on the explanation of his statements, “I was just giving examples. I was saying that there’s been a new record set for trucks registered, that the construction industry seems to grow, that workshops are working at their full capacity, and that people seems to be comfortable with this government’s model as they come back home after work and watch Tinelli on their plasma TV sets as they can now finance the buying of expensive appliances.”
